Take it from us – these are the 12 beauty buys to stick in your fridge, quick
While there’s not much we can do to fully escape 30°C heat, things like fans, icy drinks and cooling skincare can afford a little reprieve, and in terms of the latter, we have quite a few tried and tested recommendations for you.
Naomi’s cooling essentials
In Digital Beauty Writer, Naomi Jamieson‘s fridge, you’ll find Biodance’s Collagen overnight masks, which she grabs for quick cooling before she goes to bed, as well as Dr Althea’s Calming Pads and Caudalie’s iconic Beauty Elixir. The latter, she spritzes over her face and neck whenever she passes the fridge.
Sennen’s cooling essentials
For Digital Beauty Writer, Sennen Prickett, she’s got a mist, eye patches and a cooling face mask waiting in the wings (of her fridge).
Fiona’s cooling essentials
Doubling as both heat-relief and de-puffing treatments, Digital Beauty Editor Fiona McKim‘s fridge is currently home to a rollerball eye serum and a jade roller. She’s also got a body lotion chilling in there, in case her arms and legs need relief too.
Aleesha’s cooling essentials
When temperatures spike, it’s face masks that Beauty Shopping & eCommerce Editor, Aleesha Badkar, stocks her fridge shelves with, specifically Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow mask and Lumene’s hydrating gel formula. She also has some steel ice globes in there, too.
